Legal Director

Join the AI revolution. We're building an all-in-one AI platform to help teams do their best work and automate every routine task imaginable. We're looking for a sharp, strategic legal mind who can shape how we operate, grow, and stay ahead of one of the most complex regulatory environments in tech.

This is a high-ownership, hands-on role at the intersection of law, technology, and business strategy. You'll be nexos.ai's primary legal authority - rolling up your sleeves on the day-to-day while advising leadership, protecting the business, and gradually building a legal team around you.

Main responsibilities

• Own and direct the company's legal strategy across all areas: corporate, contractual, commercial, employment, litigation, compliance, data privacy, and regulatory affairs

• Develop and execute legal strategy to proactively enable business growth and protect nexos.ai's interests

• Provide legal guidance on AI-related compliance, data privacy, and evolving regulatory frameworks - translating complexity into clear, actionable direction

• Review, draft, and negotiate high-stakes commercial contracts, including agreements with major LLM providers and enterprise clients

• Counsel senior decision makers and the Board on legal risk, governance, and compliance

• Monitor AI regulatory developments globally and position the company to respond proactively

• Implement procedures and policies to ensure compliance with all relevant local and international laws across all jurisdictions we operate in

• Collaborate closely with Product, Finance, HR, and other teams to build integrated, scalable business processes

• Manage and optimise relationships with outside counsel to ensure cost-effective and high-quality representation

• Maintain expert-level knowledge of legal developments in AI, big data, privacy, and the broader technology sector

• Start as the primary legal resource and build the legal team around you as the company scales

Core requirements

• Master's degree in Law

• At least 10 years of experience as in-house counsel or in a law firm, covering a broad range of legal fields (commercial/IP/IT)

• Proven experience managing a company's in-house legal function or owning a legal desk at a mid-to-large law firm

• Deep expertise in commercial/IP/IT law; privacy and regulatory law (GDPR, EU AI Act) is a strong advantage

• Experience in a tech-native company with an understanding of SaaS, AI, and digital business models - or having worked extensively with such clients in a law firm

• Proven ability to work as a strategic partner to top management and the Board - not just an advisor, but a decision-maker

• Comfortable being the main legal resource and getting things done yourself - this is a hands-on role, not a purely managerial one

• Confidence to stand by decisions and push the right agenda for the business while mitigating risks at all times

• Strong problem-solving, analytical, and critical thinking skills

• Excellent communication, negotiation, and presentation skills in both Lithuanian and English

• Based in Vilnius or open to working on-site

Salary Range

• Gross Salary starting from 7000 eu/month.
